A setlling chamber is used to remove sand and grit from the influent water to a wastewater treatment plant. Conditions are: Chamber Height = 3m Chamber Width = 2m Chamber Length = 7m Water Flow Rate = 0.5m3/min Particle Density = 2.65g/cm3 a) What is the minimum settling velocity required for a particle to be required for a particle to be removed by this setlling chamber? Express your answer in units of cm s-1. b) Assume that this or another setlling chamber removes all particles having settling velocities greater or equal to 0.04 cm s-1. What is the minimum particle diameter that would b e entirely removed by such a setlling chamber? Express your answer in units of micrometers. (For part (b), assume the particle being removed is approximately spherical, and the water is at 22°C (density = 997.7 kg/m3, dynamic viscosity = 0.957x10-3 kgm-1s-1). If you use Stoke’s law as part of your solution, be sure to use the Reynolds number to confirm you are in the laminar flow range.)

Hemant Kohli please answer: Two identically sized primary settling tanks receive water for Type-1 settling (discrete particles in dilute suspension) under laminar flow conditions. The surface overflow rate (SOR) maintained in the two tanks are 30 m3/m2.d and 15 m3/m2.d. The lowest diameters of the particles, which shall be settled out completely under SORs of 30 m3/m2.d are designated as d30 and d15 respectively. The ratio d30/d15 is:
A Herschel-Bulkley fluid (density of 1300 kg/m3) is expected to be transported to another unit operation in a mass flow rate of 10000 kg/h. It has been identified that this fluid is having a consistence index of 5 Pa.snand a flow behavior index of 0.7. Given that the total traveling distance is 300 m with mechanical energy losses no more than 90 J/kg, determine the smallest possible diameter of the transport piping with a liquid yield stress of 25 Pa. To ease the calculation, you may assume the fiction factor is 0.01 for the first guess
